A peat bog is a physical feature that is characterized by a wet spongy ground that is majorly composed of decomposing vegetation. The drainage system of this physical feature is normally poorer as compared to that of a swamp. This area is normally not fit for farming or any other cultivation activities instead the soil itself can be dried and later used as fuel. A peat bog is mainly composed of 95% logged water and the rest is organic matter that majorly comes from rotten plants. Martini, I. P., Marti??nez CortizaS, A., & Chatsworth, W. (2006) Most countries of the world that have got this physical feature England included have stepped up plans in a bid to conserve the environment by reclaiming and restoration of the peat bog areas as they hold substantial volumes of terrestrial carbon.
